Wrong!!! For the die hard libs, the honeymoon is never over.. every night, its passion night.. even while people around these losers become unemployed and election promises are broken.

Like abused wives and gf, they keep taking it up the *** by their "loved ones"...

Obama has been in power for just over thirty days, and already liberals are abused wives and girlfriends, election promises are being shattered left and right, we're all losers with everyone around us becoming unemployed.

What a strange, insane world you live in.

It's funny how obsessed Republicans are with sodomy.

Butterbean, whatever you do don't leave us again. Do you think you could make a few threads outlining your political philosophy, your views on Obama, homosexuality, and things like that? I for one would absolutely love to read them.

Well I really only do poli forums during times of big elections (indeed I thought this place was closing anyway - or at least going over to vBulletin). But I can post a lil summin summin
to see if reality has encroached on the place at all. When the squealing commences I will blame you like the good ex lib I am.

You're back! Hooray! Tell me how much you think the gays had to do with Obama being elected.

A lot - that's why Obama was trying to put a homosexual in charge of "Office of Personnel Management"

?OPM is the federal government?s human resources department," said Denis Dison, spokesman for the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which has been presenting qualified LGBT candidates to the Obama transition team. "Its director is the president?s top adviser on personnel matters. Having an out gay man in that position is more than symbolic, it?s a statement about how important workplace equality is to this president.?

The office is generally responsible for recruiting job applicants, filling vacancies at federal agencies, developing performance review processes, administering benefits, and overseeing nondiscrimination policies. "

This way Obama can get his cultural Marxist apparachiks to fill govt jobs with drones using "stimulus" money. Kooks will be running even more things. We already heard Robert Reich say whites can lower their expectation for crapulous money but if they are Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, questioning, queer spirited, two spirited etc (yes they use all those things now) they will get by the filters. Eveything will be upside down (more so)

The "gender expression" or cross-dressing laws won't be far behind. You folks can wear your feather boas to work soon.

This is awesome, Buttbean! Will humping sheep being made legal be merely around the corner? Because you know, we simply cannot stand for that. Are you with me?!

Repugs don't like him?

Alert the media!

 

[Double Trouble]

I sure as heck don't like Obama, but I hardly think job approval ratings matter 35 days into his presidency.....

 

[jhbball]

Thanks for the update!

 

[Genx87]

Makese sense. I really doubt any sitting president can get more than 55% approval ratings on avg. And when you add in 24 hours news and the internet. I bet the new bar will be 40% is great for the long term.

PRINCETON, NJ -- For the first time since Gallup began tracking Barack Obama's presidential job approval rating on Jan. 21, fewer than 60% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president. In Feb. 21-23 polling, 59% of Americans give Obama a positive review, while 25% say they disapprove, and 16% have no opinion.

To date, Obama has averaged 64% approval, but, as the graph shows, there has been a slight but perceptible decline in his approval rating since he took office. This decline has largely occurred among Republicans.

The drop below 60% approval within the past week -- from 63% in Feb. 18-20 polling to 59% in Feb. 21-23 polling -- has mostly come among independents. Late last week, 62% of independents approved of Obama, compared with 54% in the last three days. His approval rating among Democrats has dipped slightly (but not to a statistically significant degree), while approval among Republicans has not changed.

While Obama's overall approval rating has fallen by four percentage points in recent days (from 63% in Feb. 18-20 polling to the current 59%), his disapproval rating has been steady (24% in Feb. 18-20 polling to the current 25%). Rather, the percentage of Americans without an opinion of his job performance has increased, from 13% to 16%. In essence, Americans in recent days are becoming increasingly unsure about how Obama is doing, rather than becoming more critical.

As the table suggests, most of the movement among independents in recent days has been from the approval to the no opinion category. And his disapproval rating has dropped among Republicans, with a concomitant increase in no opinion. Thus, Americans' assessments of Obama are in a period of flux.

Given that Obama is addressing the nation tonight, he has a tremendous opportunity to convert Americans who are now on the fence -- in addition to those who now disapprove of him -- into supporters. The latest USA Today/Gallup poll shows Americans are most interested in hearing about economic matters, particularly how Obama will address unemployment, the mortgage crisis, and how the economic stimulus package will be administered.

Survey Methods

Results are based on telephone interviews with 1,553 national adults, aged 18 and older, conducted Feb. 21-23, 2009, as part of Gallup Poll Daily tracking. For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points.

Interviews are conducted with respondents on land-line telephones (for respondents with a land-line telephone) and cellular phones (for respondents who are cell-phone only).

In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.


People are slowly waking up to the propaganda and the class warfare of the Tax Cheat in Chief. It's a good thing the Messiah is taking over prime time TV too; should cost him another few points since a lot of people don't actually want to hear his sh1t.

Did you steal Harvey's macro?

 

[PingSpike]

My GOD! 60%...but that means he's still very popular!

Don't worry, I'm sure it will fall a bit further. I mean, unless Obama actually owns a functioning magic wand he's going to have to do some stuff that pisses some one off.

The other surveys are still reporting 68-69% approval.

Clearly the Gallop poll was weighted too heavily toward Republicans.

Their numbers are rapidly declining - even more so after the painful exhibition by Bobby last night ...

With Obama's total ownage of the media's heart, soul and mind (using term lighly here) he's probably got at least 20 - 25 point buffer. Putin was more critical of Obama's socialism than the media was so that says something right there. If another (non affirmative action) president had had such a scandalous start 2 thirds of the country would be terrified instead of one half.

Go back under your bridge bigot.

Yeah, I can't imagine he helped his cause or their cause with that speech. I frankly don't know much about him, haven't payed much attention to him in the past, but I tuned in with interest to hear what he'd have to say, and it was embarrassing to hear it. Awful..

"the decline is primarily among republicans"

Stop the presses

 

[SP33Demon]

35 days, omg.

 

[mooseracing]

I don't understand why the masses thought he would be good for America anyway. Look at all the "great" politicians in Ill. Let alone tax and murder rates.



I'd say we are just repeating history, in the fact that FDR kept us in the depression, until the war brought us out.

 

[ayabe]

Can we get another thread when it goes over 60, what about if it drops to 56?

I need play by play.

Yeah FDR sucks.

You know what else? The moon landing was totally fake. That's a fact, I say so.

Yep, he definitely was no Herbert Hoover!

FDR saved the economy from total chaos, saved millions from starving to death, all at the same time build the infrastructure we have enojoyed for the last 60+ yrs.

its was because of FDR we avoided the worst of depression... (complete chaos, turn over of government etc).

GDP is pointless in a depression... no one buys them
when product are not bought, they become surpluses and companies go down.

very much what is happening now in the housing market.
